can become an important surgical<br />

Planting the seeds of Interventional Radiology<br />
by Charles T Dotter
INTERVENTION RADIOLOGY<br />
The procedure should be undertaken only<br />
if there is a clear clinical indication<br />
Any procedure should d be in the best<br />
interest of the patient<br />
The potential benefits of the procedure<br />
should d outweigh the risk
Analgesia and Sedatio<br />
Interventional techniques require patient<br />
co-operation.<br />
operation.<br />
The patient must be comfortable and pain<br />
free.<br />
The vast majority of work involves – sedation<br />
and analgesic techniques.

- percutaneous transluminal angioplasty<br />
PTA increases the luminal diameter of a<br />
stenotic artery by causing plaque fracture,<br />
often with accompanying local intima-<br />
medial dissection.

PTA Mechanism<br />
Vessel wall permanent „overstretching“<br />
Plaque remodelation/compression<br />
Intima/medie controlable<br />
dissection/rupture
PTA<br />
Indications (extremity PTA)<br />
1. Lifestyle-limiting limiting claudication.<br />
2. Critical ischemia (rest pain, ulcer, gangrene).<br />
3. To increase inflow or outflow prior to or after<br />
bypass surgery.<br />
4. Bypass graft stenosis.<br />
The balloon diameter should be equal to the adjacent<br />
normal vessel diameter.
PTA<br />
Contraindications (extremity PTA)<br />
Absolute<br />
1. Patient is medically unstable.<br />
2. Stenosis is not hemodynamically significant.<br />
3. Stenosis is immediately adjacent to an<br />
aneurysm.<br />
4. Ulcerative disease with evidence of distal<br />
embolization is present.

STENTS<br />
•balloon-expandable<br />
•self-expandableexpandable<br />
Aim of stent implantation is to keep<br />
arterial lumen widely open with smooth<br />
surface. It prevents „recoil“,, but it does<br />
not prevent intimal hyperplasia or<br />
atherosclerosis progression.

patency of a biological conduit)<br />

TREATMENT OF VENOUS<br />
THROMBOSIS
Deep vein thrombosis<br />
= DVT<br />
DVT is serious and potentially life<br />
threatening disease, often resulting<br />
in complications such as pulmonary<br />
embolism, phlegmasia cerulea dolens,<br />
and post-thrombotic syndrome.
DVT<br />
Risk factors:<br />
1. Surgery, esp. on legs / pelvis (orthopedic)<br />
2. Severe trauma<br />
3. Prolonged immobilization<br />
4. Malignancy<br />
5. Obesity<br />
6. Diabetes<br />
7. Pregnancy and for 8 – 12 weeks postpartum
DVT<br />
Risk factors:<br />
8. Oral contraceptives<br />
9. Decreased cardiac function<br />
10. Age > 40 years<br />
11. Varicose veins<br />
12. Previous DVT<br />
13. Patients with blood group A > blood group O<br />
14. Polycythemia<br />
15. Smoking
DVT<br />
Localization:<br />
1. Dorsal calf veins<br />
(± ascending thrombosis)<br />
2. Iliofemoral veins<br />
(± descending thrombosis)<br />
3. Peripheral + iliofemoral veins simultaneously
Diagnosis of suspected (symptomatic)<br />
acute DVT<br />
• Local symptoms due to obstruction<br />
(warmth, swelling, blanching of skin / blue leg, pain)<br />
• Duplex US or IPG<br />
• Venography or MRV (CTV)

Acute<br />
OCCLUSION<br />
Chronic
Therapy of DVT<br />
• Standard heparin therapy<br />
• Systemic thrombolysis<br />
• Surgical thrombectomy<br />
• Catheter-directed thrombolysis<br />
• Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy<br />
• Combination of more techniques
Heparin therapy<br />
Only 10% of patients have spontaneous<br />
lysis of their DVT within 10 days of<br />
heparin therapy, and up to 40% of patients<br />
continue to have propagation of thrombus<br />
despite treatment with heparin.<br />

(Krupski WC, et al. J Vasc Surg 12:467-475, 1990)
Thrombolytic therapy<br />
The resulting benefits would be expected to include:<br />
1) improved if not normalized venous circulatory<br />
hemodynamics,<br />
2) decreased circulatory burden on the superficial<br />
venous system with reduced varix formation,<br />
3) decreased collateral formation,<br />
4) reduced damage to the venous valves.<br />

lower extremity DVT: Report of a<br />
national multicenter registry<br />
Mewissen MW, Seabrook GR, Meissner MH, et al. Radiology 211:39-49, 1999.<br />
The Venous Registry described treatment of 303 limbs in 287<br />
patients with acute and chronic lower extremity DVT treated with<br />
urokinase (mean, 7.8 million U and 53.4 hours), the overall complete<br />
and partial lysis rate was 83% with a 1-year patency rate of 60%.<br />
Patients with complete lysis had higher 1-year patency rate (79%).<br />
Iliofemoral thromboses fared significantly better than<br />
femoropopliteal thromboses (no iliac involvement) with 1-year<br />
patency rates of 79% and 64%, respectively.

CONCLUSION<br />
Catheter-directed thrombolysis is effective<br />
and safe (lower dose of thrombolytic<br />
agent and heparin).<br />
Inferior vena cava filters are rarely<br />
necessary.
CONCLUSION<br />
Mechanical thrombectomy is a potential<br />
therapeutic option in patients with proximal DVT.<br />
PMT and catheter-directed thrombolysis reduce<br />
the required thrombolytic dose and infusion<br />
duration.<br />
Clinical experience with mechanical devices is<br />
quite limited at present, prospective randomized<br />
trials are necessary.
CONCLUSION<br />
Any hemodynamically significant residual<br />
occlusive disease in the IVC or iliac or<br />
proximal femoral venous segments should<br />
be treated with endovascular stent<br />
placement.
CONCLUSION<br />
The goal in the treatment of DVT is<br />
completing the procedure in a single day<br />
without to resort to a costly overnight<br />
admission to a Critical Care Unit, the best<br />
as an outpatient (LMWH).

the clinical situation must be reviewed.<br />
The endovascular approach can be helpful<br />
in patients with severe underlying<br />
coexistent morbidity and a high risk for<br />
surgery.<br />
The recovery time in patient treated<br />
endovasculary is substantially shorter.
Indications<br />
peripheral arterial and venous<br />
vasculature<br />
intracranial aneurysms<br />
neuro-vascular abnormalities<br />
(arterio-venous malformations,<br />
arterio-venous fistulae)

Peripheral Hydrocoil<br />
It is a platinum coil<br />
covered with an<br />
expandable hydrogel<br />
polymer offering<br />
unique mechanical<br />
occlusion.<br />
It is available in 2<br />
version pushable &<br />
detachable.
Peripheral Hydrocoil<br />
It is offering superior<br />
volume filling and<br />
packing density:<br />
• Up to 5 times more<br />
than conventional coils<br />
for<br />
the 0.018" system<br />
• Up to 4 times more<br />
volume filling than<br />
conventional coils for<br />
0.035" system<br />

Amplatzer septal occluder<br />
Amplatz vascular plugs<br />
other devices<br />
homemade occluders<br />
detachable balloons
Amplatzer vascular plugs<br />
- are designed to provide optimal<br />
embolization of peripheral veins and<br />
arteries through single device occlusion,<br />
full cross-sectional vessel coverage,<br />
controlled and precise deployment.<br />
AVP AVP II AVP III AVP IV
Amplatzer vascular plugs<br />
A single device frequently blocks a vessel<br />
that would have required many coils,<br />
which makes it a very efficient and costeffective<br />
alternative to coils or surgery.<br />
Plugs have the ability to recapture and<br />
reposition, if necessary.
